Optical Fiber Processing

We offer tools for a large variety of different types of fiber processing:

This includes the stripping of fiber claddings, the cleaning and cleaving of fibers, and splicing or polishing, depending on the application. Microscopes and/or interferometers are used in the analysis of fiber end surfaces.

We have tools available for all stages of processing, both for field applications and applications in the laboratory. We cover the entire range of fiber diameters to 1.2 mm.

Automatic Fiber Stripper

Automatic fiber stripping units for window stripping and end stripping - no cleaning or stripping chemicals required.

LDF Coating Stripper GPST-1100

The Lightel coating stripper GPST-1100 can be used with to remove almost all coating materials from fibers with diameters of up to 1200 µm (Large Diameter Fibers – LDF) without any residue. It works with coating made of polyimides (PI), acrylate, or silicone just as well as with two-layer coatings. Stripping is carried out completely contact free via a plasma, preventing chemical and mechanical damage and not impairing fiber strength.

The GPST-1100 can be operated in stand-alone mode without technical gases or compressed air. Software allows parameters for up to twelve stripping programs to be defined and stored, which are then executed fully automatically. This makes the GPST-1100 a highly versatile and robust coating stripper.
